Malaysian requirements for its Mechanised Infantry Fighting Vehicle (MIFV) life extension programme, are attracting the attention of Thai companies, seeking partnerships with their Malaysian counterparts.
Malaysia’s MRA Global Sdn Bhd (MRA) inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Thai Defence Industry Co Ltd (TDI) on the inaugural day of the show, in which both firms agreed to explore their prospects for Malaysia’s (MIFV) life extension programme.
TDI is a joint venture between Thailand’s Defence R&D agency, the Defence Technology Institute (DTI) and Thai land systems specialist, Chaiseri Metal & Rubber Co Ltd (Chaiseri). TDI is offering its knowledge in the field of armoured vehicle design and the collaboration could also result in Chaiseri looking to establish a production line in Malaysia. The Malaysian Army operates American M113-based tracked armored vehicles, the Korean Hanwha K200 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) and Turkish-made FNSS ACV-15 IFVs.
